  • Possibly the most unique game setting ever, TV-like storytelling, Phenomenal characters, Downright bonkers at times
  • Story is over too soon
  • The perfect blend of narrative and gameplay, coherency and strangeness, Control is a game we'll be talking about for generations...

  • Abstract:  I absolutely loved Control, except for the moments when I absolutely hated it. Remedy's latest is one of the most visually arresting and conceptually ingenious action games ever made. It boasts a stunning aesthetic, brain-melting environment design, a fas...

  • Great atmosphere with a superlative environment, Supernatural combat gets your blood pumping, Mind-blowing destruction and reactive objects,
  • Lacklustre plot, Gameplay can feel repetitive at times
  • • Reviewed on PCControl interweaves a superlative environment with brilliant combat and stellar map design. I just wish that the enemies were more varied at times and the story was a bit more compelling, but that doesn't make the game bad at all. Control...

  • Abstract:  With this in mind, we've compiled a rundown of the most exciting games that are set to launch in the next twelve months. This is a PC only list, so if it's not coming out on the old Big Rectangle, you definitely won't see it on this list. We've also focus...

  Published: 2019-08-26, Author: Darryn , review by: criticalhit.net

  • Abstract:  Remedy, as a studio, has always defied convention by combining their love for other media with video games. If Max Payne was an examination of film noir, then Alan Wake was Remedy's attempt at a playable Stephen King novel. Quantum Break, with its jarring...

  • All in all, Control is solid fun. It’s easy to pick up and play, with variety and modules you can tinker with, but not a plethora of systems to bog you down. The narrative, at its core, is fine. There is a constant feeling of dread, but with some earned l...
